So my lo will soon be 3 and has never been a great sleeper, I finally got him to sleep most nights thru in his crib but I fell and broke my foot so my husband took down his crib and we are trying to get him to sleep in a big boy bed so that I wouldn’t have to keep trying to go upstairs to his room to get him out of his crib all the time. Well ever since he got rid of the crib he wakes up more than a newborn and spends most of the night in our bed because it’s too hard for me to take him back up stairs each time he wakes and my husband sleeps like a rock and works 12 hours a day so I don’t want him to be up all night. So my question is how can I make him stay in his bed, he is very stubborn and like I said I have had issues with trying to get him to sleep since birth. I have tried cry it out with him in the past and it never worked so I am at a loss and so very tired. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do?

I was in the same boat . We’ve moved in with my husbands parents so my daughter is in the room with us . She coslept up until her 2nd birthday . It was so hard trying to get her to sleep in her own bed . We decided to turn the crib ( we’ve always had it , just didn’t use it ) into a toddler bed . We slid it close to the foot of the bed and she started sleeping through the night . I would suggest moving your sons bed to your room but by the furthest wall to start . Once he gets the hang of it , I would ease him back to his room .
